Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by Klaus Hüskes
Here, of course, you want to see the tree-climbing lions. But there is so much more to discover here.

Review about Murchison Falls National Park by Klaus Hüskes
A wide variety of animals can be observed here. Elephants, antelopes or pumbaa are just a few. The waterfall is also breathtaking.

Review about Ol Pejeta Conservancy by Butch
This conservancy was definitely worth a visit since I was in the area. The relatively small portion of the Conservancy that we visited in 3 hours was interesting, with sightings of rhinoceros, giraffes, and elephants. As we were in a bus for our visit, we stuck to the main (dirt) roads and did not go exploring through any 4x4 trails. But what we did get to see was interesting.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Butch
Masai Mara is a superb safari destination. It's large expanses are home to plenty of wildlife. Driving through it is definitely back-country, with mostly off road trails. There are very few improved "roads" in the reserve, so it has a bush vibe. You can feel that you're in the wilderness, and not just a mile off the nearest highway. Most of the transportation time within the park is spent 4-wheel driving through the many trails which generally allow close-up viewing of the animals.

Kenya is an excellent country for the beaches and wildlife.
We stayed at Baobab beach resort. The beach is great and there is a very good snorkeling spot just on the reef in front.You better take a boat (10 minutes) or you can hire one at the hotel and and on a few rows get there on the low tide.
The people on the beach trying to sell you things are a bit disturbing but always polite.
We had a bad experience on the beach booking a boat to take us to Wasini with "Captain Nemo". It was a fraud. He took us to a place where we were supposed to snorkel, but the current was very strong in the open sea. Afterwards we were take to an island where we ate a fried fish with rice. Not bad! We paid 260 dollars for four people and were told Wasini was private and had been closed.
The hotel is not luxury but the food is very good. The swimming pools are also great.We stayed in a garden view room, not very clean according to the european standards, but enough for the stay on the beach.
We booked luxury hotels for the safari The Cliff, Mara Entim and Tawi lodge 2 nights stay in each of them. The Cliff had a very nice clean room with a view, but a very cold dining room. Mara Entim had very good food and an extraordinary view.The best was Tawi lodge in Amboseli, a charming ambience and surroundings with a view of the Kilimanjaro.
Mufasa Tours organized the tailor made safari for us. It's a completely trustful agency always in touch with us when needed.The driver was very skilful to drive the 4x4 in difficult muddy terrain and extremely nice. The only problem was that on the day before our travel by train from Amboseli to Mombasa, the Madaraka express, we had to travel second class as we were told there were no first class tickets available for us. We booked this circuit 3 months in advance. I wonder what happened and why we were only informed of the fact 2 days before. The seats were terribly hard and very uncomfortable.We had 5 long hours until our destination, Mombasa before returning home.
We saw many animals,some with babies, the big five, the savanah was green and the sky with amazing clouds. No rain during the day.No safety problems at all.Overall it was a great travel.
